Bricklaying & Repointing

20m dwarf wall may be retaining in places.

My neighbours house is set slightly higher than ours... between us and them there is a close board fence which was there when I moved in, I presume there is some form of wall behind the fence as it must be retaining in parts. Their front garden is higher than ours but a section drops to our garden level in the corner and all of their surface water runs under the fence and is basically washing away/ flooding our garden in the winter. My plan is to remove the fence and install a wall to hold back the water from running in and ruining the garden. I.e they’ll have to find a solution for their drainage. Is this possible? If so... I would be looking to replace fence with a wall about 20m long but only a metre high (max) with a close board fence on top of that wall. Is it possible/ will it alleviate my water issues and what are the likely costs please? Thanks in advance.
